How acne scars are treated at NewskinLA

Acne leaves three kinds of marks: red or brown spots (post-inflammatory marks), rough or pitted texture (true scarring), and uneven tone across the area. Each responds to a different depth of treatment, and the first visit sorts out which you have. Marks and tone respond well to peels; pitted scars need deeper resurfacing over a series and improve rather than vanish.

Anna's approach is peel-based and staged. The skin has to be clear first; treating scars while breakouts are still active makes both worse. From there: Jessner peels for marks and mild texture, TCA peels for deeper scarring and stubborn pigmentation, with exosome or DMK treatments between peels to speed healing and strengthen the skin. Home care with SPF is not optional, because sun is what keeps marks dark.

Expect a series of 3 or more, 4 to 6 weeks apart. Most clients see a clear change in tone after the first two and in texture after the third.

Acne scar treatment FAQ

Can acne scars be removed completely?

Marks and uneven tone can be cleared. Pitted scars improve, often a lot, but deep ice-pick scars don't disappear with peels. Anna will tell you what's realistic at the consultation.

How many sessions will I need?

A series of 3 or more, 4 to 6 weeks apart. Tone improves after the first two; texture after the third.

Which peel is right for my scars?

Red or brown marks: Jessner. Pitted texture and stubborn pigmentation: TCA. Anna decides after seeing the skin.

Can I start while I still break out?

No. Clear the skin first with the Acne Clarifying Facial, then resurface. Peeling active acne spreads it.

Is it safe for darker skin?

Yes with a patch test and 2 to 4 weeks of pre-peel prep, which Anna doesn't skip.

How much does acne scar treatment cost in Burbank?

Peels start at $[ ]; series pricing is on each peel's page.
